An asset was retired in 2007 and in 2009 is now needing to be reinstated. (why? wrong asset was retired.) After the reinstatement is saved and deprcalc is run, no PDP is being created for 2009, just accumulated. Instead DPR is created for all the months after the initial retirement. Only the accumulated depreciation is being posted in 2009. My developer and I have tried resetting the asset back to the initial ADD and rerunning the processes in a variety of ways with the same results. This problem is affecting only two of the three REI I did for 2009 so the problem isn’t even consistently wrong. Suggestions on what to look at next?
I’ve seen this in the past as well. I would certainly agree with Steve – it is never a good idea to delete/purge data from the system. That creates nightmares from an audit and data integrity standpoint.
A workaround that we used for this one-off case was to create the PDP entry yourself in the GL. This option isn’t the cleanest, but it gets you where you need to be. Since you likely won’t be re-running Depreciation Close for the previous periods (the process that actually creates the period’s DPR accounting entries and sends them to GL), you won’t have to worry about double-booking depreciation.
